Psalm 51:18-10
For you do not desire sacrifice; a burnt offering you would not accept. My sacrifice, God, is a broken spirit; God, do not spurn a broken, humbled heart.

We’re all broken in some way…messed-up somewhere inside. But most people try to hide it…pretend it’s not there…and sometimes beat themselves up over it…feeling like a failure…feeling like God is pointing to it in disdain. What if God wanted to love you in your brokenness? What if God…knowing this brokenness…wanted nothing more than to be with you precisely in that place to let you know that you are loved unconditionally. Jesus demonstrated God’s ultimate unconditional love when He said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do” as He hung on the cross. What more proof do you need? Instead of trying to earn points with God by making sacrifices, why not give up your ego? Jesus said, “Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice’” (Matthew 9:13). Why not offer to God your broken self? Sacrifice your ego…let it go. Allow God to love you in your brokenness and lead you to healing and wholeness.
